It's going to take awhile to get the fieldstones sorted out from my notes. But in a nutshell - the place is a mess. This is in Pisgah National Forest on Cemetery Loop Trail, or should I say under it. Yes, the trail goes right through the graves - on top, several stones have been knocked down or lost as a result. That's the main part. The edges where their are only fieldstones that the tourists don't care about are completely overgrown in laurel complete with snakes (king snake I think - we both quickly ran - have I mentioned lately you should take a snake bite kit when visiting old cemeteries.) Anyway - I was pretty much disgusted. The few graves still intact on the edge show that originally the families had placed small mounds over the graves. The majority of these have been eroded away by foot traffic. There are a few markers with names: George Dunn Died 03JUL1886 aged about 67 yr Carter McCall 15JUL1885 10FEB1897 Walter McCall 15OCT1887 20JAN1897 Martha McCall (Wife of Samuel) 27FEB1855 27FEB1892 Robert McCall Sr Mar 1800 Jan 1881 Rachel McCall Jan 1811 Aug 1881 Harriet L. McCall 15JAN1855 18AUG1878 Infant of H.L. McCall aged 1 month This would make a good clean up and restoration project for the WINTER (sleepy snakes). I am going to contact the Forest Service and see if we can move the trail to go AROUND the cemetery. Wish me luck. -- Linda Hoxit Raxter lraxter@citcom.net See Indexed Western North Carolina Cemetery Surveys http://www.geocities.com/~alextreehouse related to at least half the county - at least once ; )
